| You can tell when you look at Csound abbreviations that it was
written in C. That kind of word contraction is typical of C.
During these days a cheap storage/memory I don't know why
programmers still contract words so much, I thought it used to
be done during 20Meg hard drive days. I guess it saves keystrokes.
I think anyone who is familiar with Csound
(given the inclination) should be able to do what you are asking, it
is all pretty well explained in the manual. As for myself, I am hoping
the Boulanger book due out this summer will be like an
introductory book on programming which would teach both the language
and what things actually mean. (not like the manual)
